SERENE HILL TOWN OF RAJOURI IN J&K.

People mostly correlates RAJOURI as a military territory & it hardly appears in any ones travel itenary to Jammu & Kashmir. But its totally a myth.Its some 90kms+ from Jammu city. After Jammu city limit ,we entered Akhnoor city & took the bypass lane towards Sunderbani..Skipping out Akhnoor ,who we visitd earlier. As we took the bypass ,after few kms we crossed over the HARAPPAN SITE of AMBARAN at AKHNOOR bes-

ides the river Chenab. Its very pretty....The above pic' is of R. Chenab at ambaran.

     On the way to Rajouri , there are 2 more beautiful places of tourist interest ,one is BHAMLA & other is SUNDERBANI. After crossing Akhnoor city , the hill drive begins after few more kms.............. & its truly untouched beauty....

 As we continued our drive from akhnoor towards Bhamla.

                                       At Bhamla..................
We continued across hill mountains & lovely coniferous trees adorning the hills add to the beauty of the region.....alongside the chill of the hills..... The drive upto BHAMLA is just awesome, can try out Paneer pakoras & hot cup of tea alongside the road & carryback home, some lovely homemade Khoyas from the stalls there;
   As we drove ahead ,we reached Sunderbani, which is also a beautiful small hill town on the way to Rajouri.

  Beautiful sunset from the hills of Rajouri....................

       Myself, by the stream at Sunderbani.............in Rajouri (J&K).

                     Beautiful Sunset at Rajouri............................
After crossing Sunderbani ,which is also in Rajouri ,we drove another half & hour ahead & saw a small flowing stream.... instead only driving off ,we thought to stop & walk down the hills upto the stream.... It turned out to be a great idea indeed!!!!! There's a broken bridge over the stream...& we all opted for an afternoon picnic ,with freshly made hot cup of soup.Just a great way of enjoying a winter afternoon in the hills....................As it was almost sunset time at Rajouri, we had to start back for Jammu city. I could capture few lovely frames of the sunset from the hills of Rajouri. We started from Jammu city around 12pm & reached back by 5:30pm................ & well enjoyed trip to Rajouri thus came to an end. Hope to explore Punj in J&K next time.
